41. Life in West Kingdom
Julian became king after the tragic death of his parents. He was twenty years old back then. Young magician with no experience to rule a kingdom. He almost had no friend, except Sebastian, his loyal friend since they were little. He didn’t like to talk much, he only talked when he thought he need to or when he had to deliver an important order. Among noble women, he was famous by his good look, also by his icy attitude towards them. The only noble women he was willing to talk to were his mother and Lady Hilda, the later was his cousin and the next in line for the crown of Down East Kingdom.
Walking on the outside aisle with his butler, Julian asked. “Any word from Sebastian?”
“Nothing, Sire.” The butler took his coat. “Should I send someone to Down East, Sire?”

“Yes, Milord.”

Sebastian sighed hard. “Tell me again, why this is a good idea?” They were walking side by side on the thin snow ten steps behind Deandra. She walked cheerfully with a bird hanging upon her forefinger and a reindeer walking beside her. It seemed like the bird amused them with its story. “Again, I said I’ll risk it. Taking her with us today.” Julian answered. “My… My… During my absent… Don’t tell me that people in the castle was telling the truth about you.” “What did they tell you?” “That you like her company?” “Ignore them! Look at her unique ability! Also, maybe we’re going closer to solve the mystery.” “I think she is scary.” Said Sebastian firmly. Julian’s head made sudden turn to show his bewildered look to Sebastian. “You should have a good valid reason for saying that. Let’s talk about that later.” Julian ended the conversation since they have arrived. Old letters showed in an old language, the language t

Where’s the king and his friend?” “They need to see another king and Lady Hilda told me to wait, here, with you. Where’s Pipi?” They started to walked aimlessly. “I don’t know, she said she wanted to look around the area.” Mago halted his pace. “So, the woman in green coat is Lady Hilda?” “Yes. You know her?” “No, but I heard many things about her.” Deandra stopped, she put her hand on the wooden fence. They wandered to the different path. “What did you hear?” “They used to hold annual ball among three kingdoms, before the unmelt snow covered the land. When king Julian hosting the ball, I like to sneak and hide in the shadow, looking for food, and sometimes people went to the garden for fresh air, women often talked about the king and how he only dance with the lady.” “That’s maybe because she i

Closing the door, Hilda’s expression turned serious. She walked with her light steps passing a long large square table towards where Julian and Sebastian were. They moved to the room deeper inside the cottage. The room had a secret passage that connected the three kingdoms. They never used the passage before, even when thing got worse, they used the outside path. But lately, since Lucas left, King Armand started to use the passage along with his advisor. Because of that, there they were waiting. Julian and Sebastian were already sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace. There were two armchairs on each side of the fireplace and a large couch situated in front of it. Hilda put herself on the farthest armchair. “Please tell me you already know everything about her! Or I will think you have a very worse idea to show her up in here.” Said Hilda. “My thought exactly.” Said Sebastian. Julian gave Sebastian a glare briefly. “At lease by bringing her he

Meeting all night with Edvard was meaningless. The man really knew how to avoid responsibility, in fact he was very good at it. He made Roman thought of how many ways to blow his head. While Nieal refused to keep his anger inside, he let himself lost his temper and broke Edvard’s nose. Edvard was bleeding hard, he almost choked when he yelled at Nieal. The incident went fast, Roman didn’t even try to hide his laugh because when he just thought about it, and Nieal did it for real.

His daughter was still asleep. “Irina, wake up.” Roman lightened the room with a flick. “Let’s have some tea. I want to talk to you.” Irina opened her eyes and sat lazily. “What time is it? Is it dark outside?” “It’s dawn.” “Let’s have the tea in the morning then.” She flicked the light out and tried to pull the blanket up. The room was dark for a second. Roman held the blanket as the same time the light back on in the room. “Papa please, let me sleep little longer.
